Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate dose proportionality of single dose Feramyl® given as 200 mg, 500 mg and 1500 mg i.v. infusion in terms of total iron in plasma ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate general safety and tolerability of Feramyl® given as 200 mg, 500 mg and 1500 mg i.v. infusion to that of 500 mg Ferinject® i.v. infusion To evaluate the early phase iron parameters of Feramyl® given as 200 mg, 500 mg and 1500 mg i.v. infusion and compare Feramyl® 500 mg i.v. infusion to that of 500 mg Ferinject® i.v. infusion To evaluate urine iron parameters of Feramyl® given as 200 mg, 500 mg and 1500 mg i.v. infusion and compare Feramyl® 500 mg i.v. infusion to that of 500 mg Ferinject® i.v. infusion To characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters of Feramyl® given as 200 mg, 500 mg and 1500 mg i.v. infusion and compare Feramyl® 500 mg i.v. infusion to that of 500 mg Ferinject® i.v. infusion in terms of total iron in plasma ;Primary end point(s): Total iron in plasma: AUC(0-8) and Cmax following infusion;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: t= 0-8

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): General safety and tolerability measures following infusion: - Biochemistry and haematology at t= 0 (start of infusion), 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours following infusion - Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) at t= 0 (start of infusion), 15 min (end of infusion), 30 min, 60 min, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours following infusion - CAEs: Infusion site reactions, hypersensitivity reactions, all-cause mortalities -Hypersensitivity reactions: To evaluate this the BP/HR at t= 15 min (end of infusion), 30 min, and 1 hour following infusion will be used - Adverse Events - TSAT, haemoglobin and ferritin at t= 0 (start of infusion), 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours following infusion - Urine iron during the four periods: 0-8 hours, 8-24 hours, 24-48 hours and 48-72 hours following infusion - Total iron in plasma: AUC(0-72), Tmax, ?z, t1/2, Vz, Cl. Where t= sampling time points (0 (start of infusion), 15 min (end of infusion), 30 min, 60 min, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours) following infusion. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Added to endpoints; see E.5.2
